WordPress 4.0 discussion

Listener Feedback / Audio Clips

Question from William the Kid: I’m looking for an easy way to customize the 404 page on any genesis theme. Is there any structure or warnings before heading off and changing some code.

William I would suggest that you try using the 404 generator plugin for genesis.

the Lowdown:

This plugin was reviewed in episode 183 and since then the author has updated it and here is how it performed.

Well it is performing quite well and does allow you to create the little pin bubbles that you can add popup information for your admins. These are helpful tips that can bee seen in the front end of the site only by logged in admins. Can be very useful in helping you let people know what each area of their site is and what it does. Pretty nice now..

The only thing I would still like to see is something for the backend.

Rating 4 Dragons.

CoursePress
https://wordpress.org/plugins/coursepress/
CoursePress, by WPMU, turns WordPress into a powerful online learning platform. Set up online courses by creating learning units with quiz elements, video, audio etc. You can also assess student work, sell your courses and much much more. I’ve been using a theme for this, and now I am seriously considering abandoning 3 months of work to use this instead.
